The MP was reported in The Australian newspaper on Monday saying the Queensland Government needed to let MP's vote against government legislation without the threat of being sacked from the party.

Mr Pyne resigned from Labor's left faction on the weekend, worried about what he describes as "big corporate" influence on Labor policy.

He said he would vote with the government in the first two-week sitting of state parliament.

"(But) I am not prepared to look any further than the next sitting of parliament," Mr Pyne has told The Australian.

Mr Springborg said Mr Pyne's comments showed Queensland's government was unhappy and on a knife's edge.

"If Rob Pyne carries through on his threat it will lead to the collapse of the government," Mr Springborg said.

"And this just proves how finely balanced the parliament is.

"It is an extraordinary thing for one of the Labor Party's own backbench members, going into the second year in office, to be talking about potentially leaving the Labor Party and sitting on the cross-benches."

However two government ministers on Monday morning said Mr Pyne's threat not to vote with the minority Palaszczuk government was a "normal state of affairs" for a passionate MP standing up for his electorate.

Education Minister Kate Jones and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said Mr Pyne's comments would be discussed by Labor MPs. Mr Pyne also opposes the Palaszczuk government's proposed liquor lockout laws and plans to ask for exemptions for some entertainment ­precincts, including that in Cairns.

Mr Bailey said Mr Pyne was not the first MP to be concerned about a new reform.

"And he's not the first local MP to stand up for his local area," Mr Bailey said.

"That's just a normal state of affairs."

Mr Bailey said the parliamentary committee examining Labor's proposed reforms to address alcohol-fuelled violence was due to report on February 8.

"Let's have a look at the evidence and consider that in full," he said.

Mr Bailey believed Mr Pyne would stay as a Labor MP.

"I have faith that Rob, who was elected as Labor MP, will remain with the Labor Government," he said.

Ms Jones said government MPs were happy to discuss any changes to the alcohol-fuelled violence legislation that Mr Pyne wanted to suggest for Cairns.

"I am happy to sit down and talk with Rob about any issues he believes should be changed in Cairns," Ms Jones said Monday morning.

Mr Bailey said the government's research showed their proposed amendments to the timing of last drinks would be effective.

"All the evidence shows that our alcohol-fuelled-violence reforms make it safer for patrons, it makes precincts more profitable because they are safer," he said.

Mr Bailey said that was shown after changes made in Newcastle and Melbourne.
